Dubai: €1,094 Qatar Airways Business Class From Belgrade (w/o Lounge Access)

Qatar Airways QSuite

Oneworld member Qatar Airways is selling cheap business class (often even Qsuite!) flights to Dubai from Belgrade. Prices start at merely €1,094 (~RSD 128,185) . There’s high availability from June until November, as well as in late December.

Sadly, this is a Qatar Airways Business Class Lite Fare. It does no longer include lounge access and seat selection. The cheapest fare including this service costs roughly €155 (~RSD 18,162) more.

Info

Qatar Airways offers a full refund in the original payment form for all travel ending before September 30, 2022

Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.

A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.

Our availability calendar shows all available dates at the lowest fare and can redirect you to Qatar Airways’ booking site.

Qatar Airways will first fly you to Doha, from where you’ll take the one-hour flight to Dubai. Qatar Airways operates an Airbus A320 between Belgrade and Doha, advertising lie-flat seats in a 2-2 pattern. On the short flight between Doha and Dubai, you have the chance to enjoy a First Class seat in Qatar’s Boeing 777-300ER.

Qatar Airways undoubtedly offers one of the best business class products, if not even the best. Especially the new Qsuite is almost on a first class level, but sadly not yet installed in every plane. A short while ago, however, Qatar Airways published a very negative update to their business class conditions: Lounge access is no longer included in their cheapest business class fare.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

It seems that the flights to Doha are issued in booking class P, while the short connecting flights to Dubai are issued in booking class A. Flying from Belgrade, that would get you:

  • 7,318 Points on JetBlue TrueBlue
  • 7,318 Miles on SriLankan FlySmiLes
  • 6,804 Award Miles + 4,804 Elite Qualifying Miles on Alaska Mileage Plan
